Housed in a monumental building that is also home to the Royal Tropical Institute, this museum is a must for students of anthropology and ethnography and anyone who appreciates non-Western cultures. Unlike many museums that are simply a catalogue of artefacts from ancient times and extinct civilisations, the Tropics Museum not only offers examples of antique art, but also household items and objects used in the daily lives of vibrant, living cultures throughout the tropical regions of the world from Indian Bollywood posters to African ads for hair salons. A cafeteria serving food and drink from the regions covered in the museum including South East Asian beer like Singha and Chang is also available as well as a museum shop selling interesting gifts.
